Comfort and support for families 

The Birth Place is designed with comfort in mind, helping families feel at ease during labor, delivery, and postpartum recovery. Spacious and private labor, delivery, recovery, and postpartum (LDRP) suites allow new parents to stay in the same room throughout their stay, creating a calm and familiar setting for their baby’s arrival. 

Expecting parents can choose from a range of comfort measures, including nitrous oxide, whirlpool tubs, and private showers. The Birth Place also offers family-centered amenities such as in-room dining and guest accommodations, allowing loved ones to be part of this special moment. 

For those who choose to breastfeed, certified lactation consultants are available to provide guidance and support. Parents can also participate in childbirth and parenting education classes to feel more confident as they begin this new journey. 

Advanced care for newborns

For babies who need extra support after birth, The Birth Place is home to the only Level II Special Care Nursery in the greater Nashua area. This nursery, in collaboration with Massachusetts General Hospital, provides specialized care for newborns with conditions such as prematurity, infection, or birth complications. 

Parents can take comfort in knowing that Mass General neonatologists work closely with the Special Care Nursery’s expert team to provide advanced care while keeping families involved every step of the way. The nursery is located just down the hall from The Birth Place, allowing parents to always remain close to their baby.
